Ahh okay, fair point.
Nah, not particularly interested in sending people to GCW, nothing in it for me. Just a good source for what the guy was looking for, and I just wanted to answer the guys question. Oh and also make the point that noCD cracks are not illegal. :-)
Peace

well, I haven't been on GCW for a while, but it didn't have the nocd I required at the time, and I had to run of the disk during the two weeks it took me to complete GTA Vice City.
If its got it, no problem.

Err who is spamming? Are you saying the the original poster asked the original question in the hope that someone would mention GCW, thus pointing people to the site?
Also, yes when you patch a game with an official update, you do need to get a new NoCD - This is why GCW have cracks for different versions of the game as the official patches come out, it's hardly what i would call hassle. Unless you call d/l'ing a 500k file a hassle i guess.
Personally i would rather do a quick d/l and save the time and hassle you have to endure each time you play the game by having to get the original CD. And unless it's a crap game, i would wager that you'll be starting the game many more times than it'll take to d/l the crack.

And I've just had the realisation that this thread was started as a spam to point people to gamecopy. DOH!

Very true. If I can find a nocd for a title I own, I'll use it, but since patches tend to alter the reliability of the nocd hack, most of the time its simply not worth the effort.
They have all the latest NoCD cracks.
Oh and while I am typing, how can you say that applying a noCD crack to a game you have paid money for is illegal. I don't know about you, but once I have installed a new game, I tuck it away in its case and put it in my draw - where its safe from scratches (ahhhh how nice am I).
I just can be bothered to get the CD out of the box each time I want to play a different game (as I tend to have 10+ games on the PC at anyone time) - I just want to click the shortcut and play. Not be mucking about with finding CDs.
This is not illegal. At all.
Pay for your games - if you can't do that, you don't deserve them.
